RN to BSN Program Outcome Rubric Directions (Instructor Only)
The BPU/TAWC BSN Program Outcomes have been aligned with both the AACN’s Essentials of Baccalaureate Education for Professional Nursing Practice and the Massachusetts Nurse of the Future Competencies. As a result, the Program Outcome Rubric below will be referencing multiple outcomes/competencies in each row of the rubric.
A limitation on character-counts in the rubric builder in Canvas necessitates the use of only shorthand or abbreviations within the rubric itself, so use the chart below as a guide to help you fill out the Program Rubric, with each competency listed in full here (the rows in the chart below correspond directly with the rows found in the rubric):
